NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration plans to go live.
Get ready for a space close-up. Learn about some of our newest space-exploring cameras. Imaging experts from NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover and NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover will show you how they capture extraordinary photos while millions of miles away from the cameras they use on the Red Planet.
In one week, a full Moon near its closest point to Earth in its orbit will cross into Earth's shadow. That makes a super lunar eclipse, or if you will, a super blood Moon!

"Scientific discovery can happen anytime, given the transient nature of the phenomena that I study." NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center astrophysicist Michelle Hui searches for gamma-ray bursts with our Fermi space telescope & works on developing future gamma-ray missions: https://go.nasa.gov/3yltCNA
The progress is stacking up for #Artemis II 🚀
Technicians at NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans recently stacked two of three elements for NASA's Spa...ce Launch System, connecting the liquid oxygen tank flight hardware with the intertank.
Later, they will add the forward skirt to form the upper portion of the core stage that will help power Artemis II, the first crewed mission of the Artemis Program and second flight of the SLS rocket. Together, the core stage and its four RS-25 engines will provide more than 2 million pounds of thrust to help send Artemis II astronauts beyond Earth’s orbit to lunar orbit: https://go.nasa.gov/2Rn0cOK
"Having a variety of viewpoints leads to innovation and creativity. We are one NASA, and we come together from many different backgrounds and places."
We recent...ly sat down with Marshall's Michelle Hui and Sara Yoon to talk about their careers, their work at NASA—and their advice for the Artemis Generation. Learn more this Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month:
